Houndour @ Life OrbTrait: Flash FireEVs: 252 SAtk / 4 Atk / 252 SpdMild Nature- Fire Blast- Dark Pulse- Sucker Punch- Hidden Power [Ice]

LC Fire huh? Inventive. Houndour, like houndoom, can pull of a fairlywide variety of sets. But the set I use is very similar to the set Iuse on Houndoom, NastyDour

Houndour @ Life OrbTrait: Flash Fire / Early BirdLevel: 5EVs: 200 SAtk / / 252 Spd / 52 HPModest Nature

This is the very basic set for Houndour. The idea of this set is to switch on something who can’t really do much damage to you at all, then set up Nasty Plot on the switch. A very powerful Fire Blast or Dark Pulse would do massive damage to anything that doesn’t resist it. Hp Fight hits a lot in sync with Dark Pulse with perfect coverage.

Although this set does pack quite a lot of checks, it’s quite hard to fully counter. The best best is to pack something like Mienfoo with Fake out, and Drain punch to out speed after the flinch. You can pack sucker punch instead of HP Fight, but I like the perfect coverage with the boost better.

I have a a fair few more sets, so it' likely I’ll answer this again.

Houndour(M) @Evolite/ Life Orb[Mixed Sweeper]Flash Fire/Unnerve126 Attack/ 252 Speed/ 4 Special Defense/ 126 Special Attack

Average Houndour Set. I agree that it’s typical and that there can be better sets than this, but it’s effective.Unnervegets a special mention because of the number of strategies in LC that use Berries.

Houndour @ Focus SashAbility: Early BirdLevel: 5EVs: 196 Atk / 36 SpD / 236 SpeJolly Nature- Flame Charge- Taunt- Pursuit- Destiny Bond

Flame Charge is STAB and raises your speed. Taunt is to for Pokemon to attack you. Pursuit is for if Houndour forces a switch. Destiny Bond is to take your opponent out, which is why Flame Charge is on this set, to raise your speed because you might not outspeed the Pokemon you want to use Destiny Bond without a +1 Speed Boost from Flame Charge.
